THE LETTERS OF RALPH VAUGHAN WILLIAMS

13 Cheyne Walk, S.W.

4 August, 1914

Many thanks – I think the alterations are splendid – I’d prefer the milder version of Jane’s song.  How about ‘I have dreamt my arms about you twining’ – a woman’s arms seem to me more twining than a man’s – but this is unimportant.  Also how about ‘So dawns my last day of freedom’ – if not I can do the other tho’ it will spoil the flow rather.
I go away for about a week tomorrow if any trains are going.
